Check in took a while. Our initial room was on the first floor with a smoking area 5 ft outside our window. They had us move to another room with no further issues. The staff that do crafts and work with the kids are great and are always fun and enthusiastic with the kids.

Hot tub not in service

Overall nice place near Cedar Point with fun water park HOWEVER the hot tub was not working the 3 days we stayed & that was the main draw for the parents. No hot tub No outdoor loungers because the hot tub area was closed for maintenance. Very disappointing

Great property especially if you have young kids, the water park closes kind of early 8pm witch suprised us since check in isnt until 4pm but it was still nice. My husband fished and kids swam all in all it was a great stay. It sucked there is no included breakfast, you have to pay 60$ there should have been a basic option as much as you pay to stay, but rooms were clean and nice and early entry was a plus with our gold passes for cedar point! I would definitely stay again and highly reccomend for families with small kids!

We stayed at Castaway Bay this weekend with our one year old. Our bathroom had mold on the ceiling and in the shower. The toddler water park amenities (the only amenities meant for infants and toddlers) were closed for two of the three hours the first night. Then, the next morning the water park was closed for the first hour of opening. Understanding, the reasons for closure were not necessarily the hotels fault, it was still extremely upsetting for our family who was only there for a short period of time and paid. We visited the front desk in hopes that the hotel would refund at least the water park amount or give us a voucher for another day since we did not get to use the amenities. Cas at the front desk was extremely unkind and refused to help us receive any sort of support due to the water park closures. Instead, she asked “why didn’t you take your son into the wave pool?” — in response I mentioned once again that my son was one years old. I have never had a more poor experience at a hotel especially one that is meant to bring joy to families and children.

Loved the water park, and availability of dining options and arcade. The water in the park was warm, and the amount of lifeguards seemed adequate. In-room amenities were a bit lacking (had to call room service to get an iron and ironing board) and check in was fairly slow, although not necessarily the staff’s fault. No breakfast included was also a bit of a letdown. These hotel mini fridges are always so tiny, and the TVs are pretty old at this point. Perhaps at least a bluetooth / screen sharing option of some kind would be nice if not a full upgrade. Not that we couldn’t make do with what we brought so not a serious issue. All in all had a great stay, no real issues. View was nice, check-out was easy, no issues with keycards. Required $50 deposit which was promptly returned after checkout. Would recommend, ***1/2

The loby and activities were fun and everything looked nice. The room had a moldy musty urine smell. I asked to change rooms they gave me a hard time as the front desk and house keeper took it personal. Most hotels just change your room no questions asked. The housekeeper "investigated" my claims and said it smells fine. I feel like the staff can be nose blind to the smell due to working there all day. After pushing for a different room, they did change my room and the 2nd room seemed better. It still had a slight smell. We put our bags down and enjoyed the golf and arcade which was very nice, the pizza was good! When it was time for bed, we discovered what the smell was coming from. There is mold in the air conditioning units (big chunks of mold), everything was damp, the beds were cold and damp and there was fur growing out of the vents in the shower. This place has a moisture problem which is making it smell. I only stayed 1 night out of my 2 night stay. I booked with Expedia and was unable to get my money back for the other night. This was over $300 an night. The loby was nice, the rooms were not the best. Also the TV did not work and there were flies and spiders in the room.

Wish the room was cleaner

The waterpark offered a wonderful experience for my family. However, the room was less than I expected. The floors were linoleum and were sticky in the bathroom. It was obvious that it had not been thoroughly cleaned as food crumbs lined the base of the headboard, corners of the room revealed additional crumbs, dirt, and even cobwebs. Also, the microwave didn't work which proved inconvenient. Staff did offer to "swap it out" so that we could use it prior to departure. However, we were unable to stay due to time constraints. The view was spectacular! Linens were all fresh and clean.

No thanks

Check-in took an hour (40 minutes in line and 20 at the counter). This place is not clean-like dirty floors, bugs, etc. The water park is super small and the hot tub and outdoor pool were out of order. I ordered a toasted bagel at breakfast and it was stale and not toasted (though she said she toasted it twice). The waterpark closed at 8 even though the website said 10. It might be okay for those with small kids looking for a cheap place to stay. Not at all what I was looking for with teens.
